BFI Film Academy Bristol 2019

Share

No matter your background, qualifications or experience, this is your chance to get an insider look at what it’s like to make a film – and then see it on the big screen.

At the BFI Film Academy course at Watershed you will join a small crew of fellow emerging filmmakers to create one of three short documentary films based in Bristol. The ideas for the documentary films come from you. You will meet once a week here at Watershed, and be mentored by a filmmaking professional. You will then help to plan a screening event, and your film will be featured on Rife Magazine’s website.

“The Academy has given me a chance to connect with new people, who are creative and have the same passion as me. The fact that we get to work with professionals picking up new skills along the way has really helped, and I have made so many lovely friends through the process! It's assured me that I want to be taking filmmaking and media into a career.”
